$4M of taxpayer money to rebuild a greyhound track where dogs have endured brutal deaths. Why is the Victorian Labor Government funding gambling & animal cruelty while greyhound rescue groups rely on volunteers?

Supreme Caesar was described as being "severely unwell" and was diagnosed with "severe exertional rhabdomyolysis and kidney damage due to lack of immediate treatment".
His death was snuck under the label 'illness/age,' avoiding requirements to report it as a track- or race-related injury.

π¨ $85M in public funds for greyhound racing while families struggle.
A new QLD track is set to open this year, complete with poker machines, while 18 dogs were killed & 1,700 injured last year. In Nov alone, 7 doping cases.
More breeding. More suffering. More discarded dogs. Public money, wasted.

New Zealand just banned greyhound racing. In Victoria, the number of deaths is up
The Victorian greyhound industry pours $24 million a year into integrity and welfare programs. Is it doing enough?
Aotearoa New Zealand recently announced a ban on greyhound racing. Meanwhile, Australia calls 45 deaths in 2025 'rare'. Each dog had a name, a personality. When will Australia choose compassion over cruelty? πΎ www.smh.com.au/sport/racing...

A grey coloured greyhound lays on a bed with a green blanket that has a greyhound print on it. The dog is looking up at the camera sweetly.
Finally, the app they made for me has allowed me to have my own account.
